Hi, I built it a long time ago on OS-X, which even for me was pretty trivial. I don't have access to the machine nor the binary anymore. If you compile Lua into the external's binary, it will depend on basically nothing anymore. Lua is pure ANSI C and really teenytiny, so compiling Lua into the external will not be a memory hog, but has the advantage that you can reuse the same binary on many machines just by copying over.
